Drag Race UK: 24 Times Episode Two Left Us Screaming And Memeing

Here are the highs, the lows and the "oh no"s.

This article (obviously) contains spoilers for the most recent episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

While the nation has spent the week gripped by the #WAGathaChristie saga, there was something new to obsess about on Thursday night when the second episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK dropped on BBC Three.

And we’re pleased to say that the queens did not come to play in episode two, leaving us screaming and meme-ing all night long.

And while parts of the sisterhood were getting stronger as the queens starred in Downton Draggy, the knives were also out in the Werk Room and on the runway.

As usual, the fans on Twitter were out in force to spill the tea...

1. Fans of Graham Norton’s commentary on Eurovision were so ready for him to throw some trademark shade as a member of the judging panel

10. Cheryl’s constant tongue-pops are not going unnoticed by the queens or viewers

Annoying how Cheryl Hole is trying so hard to be Alyssa Edwards 🤷🏼♀️ #DragRaceUK

11. And after the queens confronted her about her behaviour, some fans had a feeling it won’t be long until a classic Drag Race moment is repeated

20. On the whole, the lip sync was more drunken auntie than fierce drag queen

I have never cringed so much at a lipsync IN MY LIFE #DragRaceUK pic.twitter.com/M4NZrvDZa3

21. Scardey’s exit was full of truth for someone who has never been in drag outside of their bedroom before

“Not bad for a first gig!” You are SO RIGHT @the_scaredy_kat 💖💖💖#DragRaceUK #rpdrukfans pic.twitter.com/MxGWI9XqQb

23. In fact, there were many other moments that were totally relatable to the #WAGathaChristie saga

Future me whenever someone asks me about the Coleen Rooney & Rebekah Vardy beef #DragRaceUK pic.twitter.com/nEqf5yTC5N
